Yinzhen stared in disbelief at Xue Li.

He thought the melodramatic plot had reached its limit, but good heavens, it even seemed to allude to his older brothers. He had already given up hope, but good heavens, it could still go like this?!

He couldn't even imagine how his older brothers would react to this outcome.

Fortunately, no one took it personally to save face.

At least not on the surface.

Whether or not people pay attention is obvious to everyone, and everyone knows what's going on!

The bookstore was only able to operate peacefully because of him.

Besides, Father Emperor wants to see them behaving like brothers, and they won't do anything to him even if they're unhappy.

Even his second brother, to show that he didn't take the book seriously, showered him with various rewards.

If you ignore that unpleasant expression, he won't think anything of it.

The older brother, without saying a word, pulled the two brothers together and insisted on making him drink.

He could only pretend to be drunk after just one drink!

Otherwise, his good older brother would keep dragging him out for drinks.

Yinzhen was somewhat amused and exasperated, since part of the book had also been adapted into a play.

The women in the capital city really enjoy watching it!

And he made a lot of money as a result!

Who would have thought that such a simple book would become so popular?

At this moment, he was relieved to hear Sherry's advance announcement of the ending.

The only thing to worry about is whether the eldest and second eldest brothers will change their ways once they find out.

Are you quick to argue over the slightest disagreement?

Should I unconditionally oppose what he supports?

He advocates that I should unconditionally refuse?

It's unbelievable, he's become obsessed with watching his older brothers' banter every day.

After finishing her meal, Shirley rinsed her mouth and began to examine the jewelry that Yinzhen had sent her.

She hadn't really looked at it properly yet, since she was only a concubine at the moment and couldn't wear many of the more extravagant pieces!

She's seen all sorts of treasures, but she still prefers her hair down!

At least my scalp doesn't feel tight, it's comfortable!

I must say, these gold dragon boat hairpins, gold filigree dragon boat hairpins, gold filigree birdcage hairpins, and silver gilt kingfisher feather birdcage hairpins are exquisitely made; they really do have birdcages and dragon boats!

Sherry looked astonished. With today's level of craftsmanship, how rare must this be?!

She admired the master jewelry maker!

The silver-gilt kingfisher feather hairpin and the agarwood inlaid jewel hairpin are also exquisitely crafted.

"Sir, it's so beautiful! I love it!"

Shirley turned to look at him; Yinzhen was standing on the shore, painting and writing calligraphy.

"If Fei'er likes it, I'll pick another one for you! Are those all?" Yinzhen said, looking up at the hairpin in her hand.

"Not only that, I haven't opened the others yet. I'll try them tomorrow, one by one!" Sherry thought of all sorts of flat shapes!

Hmm, interesting.

Yinzhen smiled and continued drawing.

Sherry rubbed her eyes and went to sleep on the tatami mat.

After a short while, Yinzhen carried her to bed to rest.

The doctor came and said that it was normal for Shirley to be a little sleepy because of her pregnancy.

But the princess consort didn't know that. She wanted to find out what was going on, but the physician didn't dare to say anything.

Everyone in the backyard tacitly agreed that Shirley's pregnancy looked ominous.

To show her magnanimity, the Princess Consort specially arranged for her head palace maid, Fenfang, to convey the message: "Princess Consort Li is pregnant and going through a lot. From today onwards, you are exempt from paying your respects."

Sherry was overjoyed to receive this news when she woke up.

Arrange for someone to go to the main courtyard to express her gratitude!

Look how fast she's growing up!

Watching Yinzhen tease Baoyin right now, with the little girl's sweet, childish voice, Yinzhen looks like a silly father!

The puppy was also jumping around, trying to get its presence noticed.

It's amazing how no one dared to get close to Yinzhen; even the women were afraid of him.

But he is particularly popular with small animals, especially dogs.

Sherry watched longingly as she secretly ate her snacks; she couldn't help it, she was hungry!

Yinzhen even arranged a chef for her, who researched food for her every day!

During that time, unclean things came into the house—things that caused nightmares, weakened the body, and caused miscarriages… but they weren’t hidden; it was more like they were trying to scare her.

Try to scare her?!

Sherry wondered if they were trying to make her worry and overthink, making her pregnancy difficult?

Sherry just watched; as a powerful demon, she was far more sensitive to poison.

She did want to scare the Fujin, but then she thought, a mere princess isn't worth her effort.

Why shatter Yinzhen's beautiful illusions about her?!

Sherry let her do whatever she wanted, no matter how well she tried.

They took the opportunity to inform Yinzhen's people.

Two days later, she was fine, while the wife was having some trouble during her pregnancy due to excessive worry.

Yinzhen discussed with his wife the idea of ​​temporarily arranging for his wet nurse to manage the household affairs so that his wife could have a good pregnancy. His wife said that she was fine.

Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, then said only, "Something dirty has entered the manor. Please investigate thoroughly, Madam." After saying this, he left.

The princess consort, perhaps feeling guilty, overthought things and ended up having a miscarriage.

Yinzhen went to accompany him a few times, but his expression was somber.

The wife refused, saying it was against etiquette.

Shirley didn't think anything was wrong. She simply sent someone to deliver a painting to Yinzhen. She didn't mind having him accompany her and also to see the hardships of a pregnant woman.

Well, this time Sherry's painting depicts an ethereal immortal, his eyes covered, someone bound by chains, and a pair of slender, delicate fingers gripping his neck. The profile, the curve, the jawline—it's absolutely stunning…

Sherry's laughter grew increasingly grotesque as she looked at the painting, and she wrote a note: "Let's continue at this pace after my confinement period!"

Sherry was overjoyed, and then her spirit saw Yinzhen halfway there finish reading the note, take the painting, turn around and leave.

Sherry: ⊙▽⊙

We waited and waited, but no one came!

To my utter surprise, I made a mistake!

Sherry was incredibly frustrated. She decided that next time she wouldn't give him any warning; she'd just tie him up with red silk, crack her little whip, and ride her little wild horse!
